Yoab joins the law firm to enhance and strengthen the strategy and business plan defined for the coming years, where Albagli Zaliasnik continues to strongly invest in this area as one of its pillars.

With over 15 years of experience in Compliance, Yoab Bitran joins as the new Director of the Compliance Group at Albagli Zaliasnik (AZ) to co-lead, along with Rodrigo Albagli, a value proposition based on the prevention and active management of legal, regulatory, and reputational risks for companies and organizations.

Mr. Bitran is a lawyer from the University of Chile with a master’s in business and Corporate Criminal Law from the same institution. Additionally, he holds an LL.M from Boston University. He has served as the Academic Director of the Compliance LatAm Diploma at Thomson Reuters and as a professor of the Legal Management Program LatAm Diploma at the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso (PUCV).

Throughout his career, he has actively contributed to the compliance and corporate ethics industry as the Head of LRN Latin America, the world's largest company dedicated to ethics and compliance. On the other hand, his professional trajectory also highlights his experience as an International Associate at Chadbourne & Parke and as part of the legal management team at ENAP.

Rodrigo Albagli, partner at the firm and head of the compliance area at AZ, emphasizes that "Yoab will strongly support our expansion plan for the Compliance area, which represents a strategic pillar for AZ's sustained development in the coming years." "It is time to push harder for excellence in ethics and compliance. Yoab has the experience, tools, and knowledge to help companies elevate standards and guide the effective implementation of compliance programs," Albagli emphasized.

Yoab focuses his practice on advising companies of various sizes and industries, as well as building and sustaining ethical corporate cultures. One of his main goals is to promote ethical leadership and best practices in the region, frequently being invited as a speaker at international conferences and events.

"I am excited to maintain and enhance AZ's leadership in our country and to become a regional reference in best compliance practices. We have the opportunity to significantly impact the elevation of ethical standards in Latin America, also taking advantage of our role as founders and coordinators of the Compliance Latam platform" concluded Yoab.
